JOANNA

(Gk. Iōánna)

One of the women from Galilee that followed and provided assistance to Jesus. She is mentioned with Mary Magdalene, Susanna, and others as having been “cured of evil spirits and infirmities” (Luke 8:2-3). Joanna was wife of Chuza the steward of Herod Antipas.

Joanna was among the women who brought spices to anoint Jesus’ body and found the empty tomb. Along with Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James she delivered the news of the Resurrection to the 11 apostles (Luke 24:10). Luke also notes that the women from Galilee beheld the Crucifixion (Luke 23:49) and the placement of Jesus’ body in the sepulchre (v. 55).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
